We'll manage. I'm not going to let anything happen to him, and I've been to Tartarus before. I have a few friends who will help get us there and it should be pretty much and in and out job.
I don't, really. But someone's out there asking for my help, so I have to go and at least see who it might be. I thought maybe it was a friend of mine who sacrificed himself recently, but...I feel like maybe he's already moved on. There's someone else it could be though. And I won't feel comfortable again until I at least go to look.
Um...sort of. He's a titan that we fought a while ago, but then he became a friend. [he leaves out that it's because percy dunked the titan in the lethe and mindwiped him.] He helped me when I was in Tartarus by myself the first time. And he helped two of my friends. But we left him there and I can't stop thinking that's why someone's calling for me.
[...he just lets his sword materialize in his hand then.]
Again, you and me both. I guess I have a bit of practice trying to understand what prophecies are supposed to mean, but usually it's just easier to fight monsters.
Pretty sure there would have been some stipulations there even if we did try to stab him. Something arbitrary like "it doesn't count because we stabbed him on a Tuesday morning instead of Thursday night" or something like that. I'm used to things not being simple though. That part I mind a little less.

[ in the kind of relieved tone after being stuck trying to make sure people get out for eight fucking weeks. he looks at nico sideways ]
You going home after this?
no subject
Yes and no. I'm going back, but Will and I have some business to attend to not long after I return. [a pause.] Plus a prophecy to fulfill, I think.

You and me both. [so they can agree there...] But at least you know what the goal is. Better than this place, right?

Would've been great if we could've just stabbed the Nightman. [ Alas. ]
no subject
If that was an option we would've taken it much sooner to stop this game from starting. But some wars are only won with certain strategies.
[but stabbing would make them all feel better.]
no subject
With guys like that, it's never that simple. You just wish it was. [ which is an agreement but ughhhhhhh ]

... Can't say the same hasn't been true for me for a while now. [ "just one simple job" my ass, ]

Years, right?

[ it's a dry joke. ]

If we ever find something, it'll be a miracle.
[equally dry, but it's sort of funny in a roundabout way.]

So let's not hold our breath for it, huh?
